Hello all,
I'm having some problems with setting up an Ad Hoc network between my Lenovo Thinkpad and a computer I built, with both of them running Windows 7.
The first problem I have is that the computers can only be about a couple of inches away from each other, otherwise they become out of range, i.e. the computers become disconnected. I'm not sure why the computers need to be THAT close to each other to work.
The second is that I feel like I should be expecting some wickedly fast transfer speeds, but unfortunately, that is not the case (as measured by iperf.fr). I've looked through some of the other threads in this forum, namely:
Re: 7260 AC does not show "AC"and
Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 New Drivers and WiDi issues
and tried all of the suggested fixes, but to no avail. I was wondering if it is even possible to utilize 802.11ac with Ad Hoc networks. I currently have resigned to thinking it's a driver problem (both currently operating 17.0.3.2), or maybe that I need Windows 8.1, or that maybe it just isn't possible.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
AC
